IMPROVEMENT IN COAL-SCUTTLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 210,972, dated December17, 1878 g application led November 12, 1878.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL SMITH, of Brooklyn, in the State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coal-Bode; and dohereby declare that the following is et full, clear, and exactdescription tl1ereo',reterence being had to the drawing accompanyingthis specification, and forming port thereof.

)onlhods have heretofore been constructed with the bottoni and base orrim separate from the body, such bottom and base or riln being sometimesnmdein sepa-rate pieces, and sometimes in one piece.

My invention consists in forming the lower portion or foot of :Loool-hod, with vertical oorrngutions, and en annular concave-convexbend, and the bottoni with on upwerd-projeeting vertically-corrugatedwai-ll, t-ting in the eorrngzitions of the lower portion or foot, and nihm ge projecting into the bead, whereby the lower port ot the hod isre-enforced :it the point of its woll, where eonl strikes and wears itthe most, and the edge of Said bottom is protected from the fai-llingGool es the hod is being filled.

In the drawing, Figure 1 shows e hod in vertical central soot-ioncontaining' my improve ments, and I1`ig.2 is a. horizontal section tokenthrough the line o a: of Fig. 1.

d is the body and base or rim struck up out ot one piece of sheet-iron,which is corrugated et its lower portion, Z1. c is the bottom, with a,iienge, d, which flange is snapped into the recess ofthe bead e on theinner surface of the body7 end then secured by rivets f f, 85o, Thisbottom is also struck up out ot' one piece of sheet-iron, and may becorrugated :it time ot' being so struck up by tools made for thatpurpose. Vhe-n corrugated the parte are pnt together. The Corrugatedw21-Ilot the bose tits snugly in the eorrugetions of the lower por. tionor foot of the body, thus adding very materially to the strength ofthehod.

Byoonstrnoting the body and bose or rim all in one piece, weakness etthe bose of the hod by reason of the joining of two pieces ot' metal bydouble-seeming or otherwiseis overcome, and the durability of the liodincreased.

I claim- The cool-bod, having the eonoavo -oonveX bend e, ondvertically-corrogated lower portion or foot, D, and the bottoni havingthe upward-prQiect-in g verticallycorrugated wall fitting snugly Withinthe Suid corrugated lower portion or foot, and provided with L :flangeritt-ing in the bead of the body, substantially :Ls deserlbed.
